- Humbucker pickup is good

- Cable is good

- Input jack is soldered properly

The guitar is making a popping sound when

I pluck strings individually using the

humbucker pickup on my HSS Strat. My

initial thought was that the copper ground

wire I attached to the input jack is faulty

when I lifted the input jack away and

stopped it from touching anything, the

noise disappeared; when I put it back, the

popping returned. I noticed that the input

jack rotates slightly when I insert or turn

the plug, and the wire moves a little along

with it.

Is this the problem? What else could be

causing it? How do I fix it?
